I believe the moral is actually that you should use openoffice
Download the "stable" 1.4 release
http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.4/index.html (worse in terms of start time),
or the "unstable" (but works great for me, just dont' open the thesaurus) pre-2.0 release
http://download.openoffice.org/680/index.html.
It's auto-recovery is awesome. AND it's got auto-complete. AND it's free (beer && freedom).

Now to the horror story.
I was trying to boot my usb drive once. And I changed a few things in BIOS to do so. Didn't quite work.
So I reboot. The computer "doesn't recognize my hard drive." I go into BIOS, and it shows no trace of knowing what the hard drive is. So I check "auto" for boot option and hit restart.
And same problem.
I boot off the gentoo liveCD. My hard drive showed up, so I got to take a breather at least.
After a few reboots, the same BIOS settings worked.
It was freaky.
